The fifteen minute PRE-ADVISE appointment is a great time to update student information, review Advising Report (AR), important dates and deadlines, identify available and valuable resources, and answer any questions. The Advise appointment will also be scheduled at this time.

Questions for your Academic Advisor

Advisees of the Academic Advising & Exploration Center have holds placed on their records on the WINS System. Holds are released only after completing the advise appointment. Failure to follow the above process may result in the inability to register at the assigned time and date.

For a calendar of these appointments, refer to the Advising Schedule page on this website.
